The match between Darby Allin and Garcia was a balanced one, as both superstars had their share of moments. But it was Allin who came out victorious via pinfall as he rolled up Garcia for a win. Just after the match, 2.0 entered and attacked Allin. Sting, who was at ringside, tried to counter the trio’s attack. However, Allin was outnumbered on one side of the ring, but CM Punk came to the rescue.
Then, Punk created a distraction, allowing Allin to hit an insane suicide dive to take out 2.0. Allin then turned his attention to Punk, and the duo ended the show with a faceoff.

At AEW All Out, CM Punk will wrestle in front of a live crowd after seven long years. Punk left WWE back in 2014, and his last match was the Royal Rumble. Since then, The Best in the World hasn’t stepped foot in a wrestling ring. Instead, Punk tried martial arts and ended up in UFC for a short, unsuccessful stint.
Now that The Voice of the Voiceless is back where he belongs, fans are incredibly impatient to watch Punk wrestle again.
